While the US midterms are rapidly becoming all Iraq, all the time (finally) here in Canada a much slower wave is building against Canadian participation in the war on Afghanistan. Part of this is a result of the last year's change in mission - Canadian troops are fighting more intense battles with Taliban remnants, and thus incurring more casualties - and part of it is domestic politics - the Conservative government (elected in January) has tried very hard to brand itself as the War Government, which is odd considering it was the Liberals who started Canada's participation in this war.
